The Tourist Terrorists

All I can do at this moment is type ha-ha-ha-ha!!!

Pffffttttt!


"Two ferry riders sought by FBI last summer were just tourists"

"They were software consultants in town for a weeklong business conference — not terrorists planning an attack to cripple the country's largest ferry system.

Last summer, the FBI launched an international search for two men after crew members and riders on a Washington State Ferry reported their unusual behavior — namely that they were taking pictures below deck, in areas that don't hold much interest for most tourists.

A ferry captain snapped their photo, which was passed along to the FBI.

Turns out the men, both citizens of a European Union nation, were captivated by the car-carrying capacity of local ferries.

"Where these gentlemen live, they don't have vehicle ferries. They were fascinated that a ferry could hold that many cars and wanted to show folks back home," FBI Special Agent Robbie Burroughs said Monday...."

"This underscores a very telling fact. We are not just seeing innocent people occasionally harassed in the process of rounding up terrorists, we are seeing virtually EVERY harassed tourist turn out to be innocent. Terror cases collapse in court for lack of evidence. The invasive searches of our persons at the airports never find bombs.

Could it be that (gasp) there really are no terrorists out there (except for the ones the government hires to scare us into war)?
